Full Description

Choice 2025 Outstanding Academic Title

Meet one of the most influential men in the United States' history of emancipation and Black rights.

Chronicling Frederick Douglass's life in an accessible way, this biography engages with history and wrestles with biases, falsehoods, and unknown facts in order to tell Douglass's story as accurately as possible. Taking a comprehensive look at Douglass's life from birth to death, the book delves into Douglass's time as an enslaved African American, his escape, his experiences as a prominent orator and champion of Black rights, his writings and publications, and the influence he had on shaping society of the time. A detailed timeline allows students to quickly reference and recall major points in Douglass's history, and the book is further augmented by the inclusion of primary documents, which include samples of Douglass's own copious works, as well as words written about Douglass by his contemporaries. Readers will walk away with not only a better understanding of American history but an appreciation for Frederick Douglass's impact in his own time and his lasting relevance for all those who continue to fight for a more equal society today.
